Scopes
Perhaps no other piece of benchtop test equipment inspires such user loyalty and commands such a large part of the competition between test equipment manufacturers. What is the latest in oscilloscope features and benefits? How can we use scopes in new ways? Is it possible to better understand the scope you have? If these are questions you have, then this collection is for you.
Affordable, feature-packed DSOs/MSOs use tablets for display and control
- 11.13.2012
When you look over the list of capabilities embodied in Agilent’s new InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series of DSOs (digital storage oscilloscopes) and MSOs (mixed-signal oscilloscopes), you might conclude that the company should have called the new family “the only electronic instruments many EEs will ever need.” Read More...
LeCroy 12-bit DSOs boost performance, match 8-bit pricing
- 10.22.2012
LeCroy’s HDO (high-definition oscilloscope) family not only meets (and in several cases, beats) the pricing of competitors’ equivalent-bandwidth 8-bit models but also increases the bandwidth of its two top-of-the-line models by more than 50% to 1 GHz. Read More...
